Question

My Markup is like this :

<div class="article">
 <p class="date">16-05-2011 15:28:24</p>
</div>

This output is generated by a CMS and I searched for everywhere to modify the output but I didn’t reach a solution.

I want to use jQuery to remove the “hour” from the date paragraph.

Saying I don’t want any text after the “space” so that the day-month-year will show up only.

Any idea how to achieve this using jQuery?

Pretty easy loop, splitting by a space with a limit of 1 item:

$('p.date').each(function() {
    $(this).html($(this).html().split(" ",1)[0]);
});
